    The document discusses two sources that provide information about life for slaves on plantations. Source A is a painting that would have hung in plantation owners' homes, depicting an idealized view of life on a sugar plantation in the West Indies in 1823. Source B is a photograph of an escaped slave named Gordon, providing a first-hand account from the perspective of a slave rather than the plantation owners. The document asks which source provides a more reliable view of what life was really like for slaves.
